Jason Segel Gets Really Personal With Fans
We've got your number, Jason Segel. Now if we could just get the image of your naked body out of our brains, we'd be set.
The multitalented How I Met Your Mother star popped up at the show by the Swell Season—the Oscar-winning duo from the film Once—at Los Angeles' Wiltern Theater last night. He came in hopes of charming one (or more!) of the band's fans with a new song he'd written just for the occasion about love, sex and his FX-free penis.
Sample lyric: "Remember when I showed my penis in Forgetting Sarah Marshall/Well, there were no special effects, no no special effects/So if you like what you saw, it's exactly what I'm working with."
We have no idea if the come-on worked, but if it did, we're pretty sure he'll write a song about it.

This Just In: Have Lindsay Price and Josh Radnor Broken Up?
• TV Power Couple Shuts Down? It seems that the lovely Lindsay Price may have hit a rough patch in her life. First came news that ABC wasn't picking up new episodes of her witch dramedy, Eastwick, and now E! News reports that she and boyfriend Josh Radnor, star of CBS' hit How I Met Your Mother, have parted ways. Reps have declined to comment on the report. We feel bad for the poor sweet kid if it's true. Oh well, at least she's still beautiful and talented.
• Not a Shock: To the great disappointment of almost no one (or, to be fair and specific, only 3.6 percent of voters in our fall TV Save One Show poll), the Hollywood Reporter says that ABC is shutting down the Kelsey Grammer sitcom Hank and taking it off the air post-hasty.
• Don't Panic, Space Travelers: Ratings for the second episode of ABC's V dropped a sharp 29 percent in the 18-49 demographic, but we don't care. Elizabeth Mitchell and Morena Baccarin remain awesome.
Celia in Michigan: Please tell us that Gossip Girl isn't get canceled! If that happens, I will be so upset.

Jason Segel Shows Us His Serious Side
Jason Segel may be known for making people laugh, but the funnyman also has a serious side.
Segel told us last night that a male friend of his is battling breast cancer. Although rare, about 1 percent of all U.S. breast cancer cases occur in men.
"I think the key is to keep treating him normally and not change the way you would normally talk to someone just because they have cancer," Segel said at the launch of Lacoste's 2009 Pink Croc collection, which benefits the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
Director Judd Apatow also opened up about how the disease has affected his life...

Has HIMYM Cast Rachel Bilson as the Maybe Mama?
How I Met Your Mother may really, truly, finally be revealing Ted's baby mama—and right now, the likely candidate is one of our absolute faves, Miss Rachel Bilson.
A show rep confirms to us that Rachel has been picked for the potentially pivotal part, which ties in perfectly with reports from our best frenemy earlier this week stating the HIMYM 100th-episode celebration is set to be mom-centric. Show runners had been "spending a lot of time trying to cast the female role in Ted's story" for the landmark ep, said Ausiello.
So is Rachel's character the real deal? While it seems likely that the adorable starlet is the mama-related lady in question, Bilson's rep tells us that she's only signed on to appear in the one episode.
So is this just the next Stella (Sarah Chalke) to our Ted or will Bilson pop up again somewhere down the road as—wait for it!—the actual mother? Fingers crossed!
Which TV Show Hides Its Baby Bumps Best?
Which phone call does a TV show runner fear more? (1) "Surprise...we're canceling your show!" or (2) "Surprise...I'm pregnant!"
Obviously, no one wants their series axed. But no matter how welcome that bundle of joy might be, an expecting actress presents all manner of complications for her show's writers.
And the clock is ticking.
Some brave producers scrap their original storylines and incorporate the pregnancy into the plot, but most rely on props and costumes for camouflage.
TV's veritable baby boom is calling for even more ingenuity in fooling its mothers' natures, so who deserves the most props?
